APG will officially launch its new iX series at the ISE trade show (Amsterdam, 11th-14th February 2020) in Hall 3, Stand B120. Including a full line of fixed installation speakers, the new iX range uses non-diffraction acoustic baffling that allows pure source directivity. For some of the iX models, APG has created coaxial devices that strike a perfect physical alignment between low and hi transducers.

Scheduled to be shipping from April 2020, the iX Series is made up of five coaxial speaker models: iX5, iX6, iX8, iX12 and iX15; all of which are two acoustic way speakers loaded in bass-reflex for low-frequency extension. APG will also introduce at the show a future extension of the range with two unique models of pseudo-coaxial speakers — the iX2.5 and IX2.6 — optimized for vocal applications.

The speakers are designed for a variety of applications, including main FOH or distributed sound reinforcement (front fill, out fill, infill, under-balcony, delay lines) in all types of venues (theaters, concert venues, clubs, bars, restaurants, conference rooms, congress centers). It is also possible to combine iX speakers with APG’s popular Uniline and Uniline Compact systems.

All iX models have been ergonomically optimized to make them as compact as possible, with smart accessories for discrete installation, customizable colors and a weatherproof finish. And, the iX speakers are compatible with APG’s SB subwoofers, while the company provides all standard processor settings of APG electronics and customized settings for other brands such as Powersoft.

The APG iX Series:

• iX5: APG’s iX5 is a miniature, two-way full range and passive loudspeaker fitted with a 5″ long excursion LF driver and a coaxial dome tweeter (120° conical dispersion). The iX5 is characterized by its sound quality, which is close to the best studio monitors.
• iX6: The iX6 is fitted with a 6.5″ driver loaded in a bass-reflex while HF is handled by a coaxial dome tweeter (105° conical acoustic opening). It offers clear and precise sound reproduction of mid / high frequencies up to 20 KHz.
  iX8: The iX8 features a coaxial device fitted with 8″ cone driver and independent HF compression driver. The coaxial mounting offers perfect acoustic dispersion with a homogenous dispersion coverage of 110°.
• iX12: The iX12 is a two-way, full-range compact loudspeaker fitted with a coaxial coupling of 12″ and a 1″ HF compression driver (filtered). The non-diffraction baffling creates a perfectly coherent acoustic field with a conical dispersion of 100° and a minimal feedback effect of 4dB.
• iX15: The iX15 is a two-way full-range speaker fitted with 15″ neodymium driver including a forced thermal ventilation system and a 1.4″ neodymium HF compression driver. This results in an exceptional sound pressure capacity down to 60Hz and up to 19KHz.
